    New QP for my old man

    OK - so I admit to have fallen in love with the marque; easily done but feel I may have forced my opinion just a little too ******* my Father! After finding a couple of excellent value QP GT-S I thought it was time he bought a Maserati too & convinced him to part with his cash yesterday...

    Only first & second gears?!

    Hi all - had a great time recently at goodwood revival & hoping for a quick blast back to Bristol in the coupe but alas, as soon as I hit the dual carriageway & tried third for the first time - nada! Wouldn't shift gear & then would throw itself into neutral. After trying all the usual turn it...

    Castle Combe Track Day 19th July

    Anyone fancy joining my old man & I for a blast around Castle Combe on Friday 19th July? It's £170 for the day but it is CC! It's not an Italian day or anything but a general open track day - I couldn't make Llandow as the wedding got in the way so have to settle for this ;-) We're booked up...

    Eurospares price anomaly

    As part of trying to fix the V7 Maserati I seem to have at the minute, I logged onto to the eurospares website to look at latest prices for coil packs, spark plugs, injectors et al. Very reasonable prices but one thing I noticed was the Maserati price was HIGHER consistently than the Ferrari...

    Maserati V7 isn't what I'd hoped for ....

    So, the same day I booked the car in for a service at DL (Paul may bring it to you sooner now!) I get the orange engine light come on, car vibrations are up (especially sat still), & totally down on power so can only guess we're running a cylinder down. The dealer I bought her from (just over a...

    New battery = Happy Days!

    So the 4200 wouldn't even bat an eyelid yesterday when I tried to start her (to be fair, been struggling a couple of weeks ago & then she's sat still in the cold since). Jumped online & did the usual search (Bosch 6PN) & found EuroCarParts are doing a 20% off voucher (websaver20 at the checkout)...

    Castle Coombe Track Day 3rd/31st May 2013

    As I'm missing the Llandow Track Day this time round I was thinking of a Castle Coombe track day, they're fairly regular & it's circa £170 each or £295 for two (£147 each). Would anyone else be interested in a spin around CC on either 3rd/31st May? SF

    Best Service near Bristol

    Hi All - looking for 4200 servicing near Bristol & experiences. The obvious Dick Lovett option is an easy choice albeit not the cheapest, I know there's Migliore & Sytner Birmingham way & then we're getting farther afield. My car is known to Bob Houghton so tempted but haven't heard anything...

    Cheapest Insurance in Years .....

    Just a quick note to say thanks to SM for helping to reduce my insurance premium by hundreds again! Mentioned when asked that I was a member of SM to REIS & she took literally hundreds off (even with £53 for four track days a year!). All I have to do is forward a screen shot of my log in...

    Highs of Maserati ownership ..... & frustration

    So following Matts excellent instructions on how to ease the wiper assembly & motor I have once again the ability to see! Thanks Matt!! And while the scuttle & associated trim was off I thought it would be a good time to give it a alcohol wipe off, soft key with some wire wool & a brand new soft...

    4200 wiper failure + 200mile drive = not fun

    Hi guys - any bright ideas for failed wipers on my 2004 4200? I've done all the usual turn off battery & turn it back on, there's power going to the motor, I can hear the relay (?) from inside the cabin when the wipers should be actuating, washers work (so I don't think it's a fuse)......about...

    Deionised water filter?!? Any good?

    I was reading another thread about pressure washers & saywellhq suggested a website below, after a little browsing came across a neat idea negating the need to chamois & drying your car once you've washed it! I was familiar with concept on Matt paintwork but never thought about it as an everyday...

    "squeaky" gear change on 4200

    Picked up a "new" 04 plate cambiocorsa with 24k miles & FSH a couple of weeks ago & noticed a very slight squeak when changing whilst still fairly cold through low gears. Is this common? Do I need to be concerned? Clutch release bearing? Thoughts on whether it'll "get through it"? I know the...
